Local tip
Diners with allergies should mention dietary needs when reserving and again before ordering.

Entrecôte Restaurant brings a focused French dining concept to Vancouver, centred on the classic combination of steak, frites and a carefully developed sauce. The restaurant draws on the tradition of Parisian steak-frites houses while shaping the experience for a local setting.

The menu is intentionally concise. The main course features certified Angus beef top sirloin served with a signature secret sauce, alongside hand-cut golden frites. The steak is served once, while additional frites and sauce can be requested, keeping the meal centred on the restaurant’s defining combination. A butter lettuce and walnut salad with house vinaigrette provides a fresh counterpoint to the richness of the steak, frites and sauce.

The sauce is a central part of the restaurant’s character. Its recipe was developed through attention to richness, acidity and gentle bitterness, with dairy among the listed ingredients. The salad contains walnuts, and the kitchen also handles gluten, dairy and other allergens. Diners with allergies or dietary restrictions can speak with the restaurant team about current ingredients and preparation, although cross-contact cannot be ruled out.

Entrecôte presents itself as a reimagined Parisian bistro, with a chic and refined atmosphere shaped by old-world warmth. The setting is intended to feel comfortable enough for a regular evening while still giving a meal a sense of occasion. The overall approach is personal and focused, with the limited menu allowing attention to the details of the steak, sauce, frites and salad.

Wine, other beverages and desserts extend the meal beyond the signature main course. The restaurant also offers a baguette and a selection of desserts, including options that may contain gluten or dairy. Ingredient details can vary, making direct discussion with the team useful for diners managing allergies or specific dietary needs.

The concept suits diners looking for a straightforward French meal built around one recognisable tradition rather than a broad menu. It can work for an ordinary dinner, a date, a family meal or a gathering arranged through the restaurant’s private-events offering. Entrecôte Restaurant is located at 12 Water St, Vancouver, BC V6B 1A5, placing a Paris-inspired steak-frites experience within a historic downtown street setting.
